2018 was a record-breaking year for the Blue Signal team. We worked on 400+ jobs, made 119 placements, doubled our team size, expanded offices and moved our company headquarters all while exceeding our company goals. At the Blue Signal Summit held in Phoenix, Arizona, we talked extensively about goals – as individuals as well as a team. Next year, we plan to raise the bar even higher and expand our team once again.

None of the strides we have made as a company would have
been possible without the incredible efforts of our stellar team. Specifically,
our top performers. At the Summit, we gave special recognition to 3 notable
team members for their achievements.

Bryan O’Connor

Within his first year in the industry, Bryan was quickly promoted to Recruiting Manager. He has gone above and beyond in his efforts with candidates and clients. Bryan’s diligence throughout the year was reflected in his numbers. At the Summit, Senior Managing Partner Matt Walsh presented Bryan with an award for Top Cash-In in 2018.

Art Reed

Arthas been a mentor and driving cultural force of Blue Signal since he came on board. His voice and presence put a smile on the faces of clients, candidates and colleagues alike. He recently was given the well-deserved promotion to Managing Partner. His client and candidate advocacy and dedication earned him the title of Top Biller for 2018.

Lacey Walters

Lacey’s hard work, innovative nature, and ability to adapt to anything thrown her way led to her recent promotion to Director of Operations and the Blue Signal MVP Award for 2018. Her dedication to Blue Signal’s initiatives, clients, candidates, and operations have significantly impacted the results all recruiters and the firm have experienced in the last year.

These 3 individuals have truly exceeded all company goals
and the expectations of the organization. Whether it be weekends, nights,
holidays, or after hours, they have put their clients and candidates first.
Their hard work and attitude has helped make Blue Signal the best recruiting
firm on the planet. This candidate, client, and colleague first mentality
directly reflects Blue Signal’s ethics, and core values – which is why they are
not only impactful leaders in the company, but recipients of these prestigious
awards and true drivers of the Blue Signal cultural organization.

In 2019, we plan to keep up this trajectory and continue to
be the best recruiting firm in the space.
Blue Signal thanks each of these individuals for their hard work and
effort. We are excited about what 2019 and the future brings for each of them
as well as Blue Signal, our customers, and our clients.
